This may be a simple question, but I did check first, I'm confused on installing Flash and Java for SeaMonkey, i.e., what folders to extract the tar files to. I have Puppy Wary 5.3 if that makes a difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm still a noob to Linux, and I saved the file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, but I cannot extract it (I was trying to use XArchive).

You can download the archive .tar.gz where you want, /root/my-documents for example. Click on it. Xarchive will show the content of the archive. Highlight libflashplayer.so and click on Extract. Then click Choose to browse to desired destination /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Click Ok. Done. Restart the browser for the new flashplayer having been releaved.

Put the jre-7u10-i586.sfs file in the root directory where you have the savefile: click down left Menu, System, BootManager configure bootup. Click "Choose which extra files to boot at startup": you will see in the left-panel your Jre-7u10-i586.sfs. Add it to right panel. Click Ok. Reboot and java will be loaded at startup. Alternatively you can load the sfs file on the fly with sfs_load-1.2.pet or other versions. Search for it.

Doh! Sorry - Ok, followed your instruction carefully this time, downloaded it, etc., but when I pull up BootManager to try and choose the SFS file it gives me an error saying there are no SFS files in directory /mnt/home (which there are - I see it!!! Well, more specifically I downloaded it to /mnt/home/root which you said) or they all have the wrong '*_nnn.sfs' version number.

I swear I didn't do anything wrong this time!

Any suggestions?

Download jre-7u10-i586.sfs to /mnt/home. This is the root directory of the filesystem. You will see it.

Safefile (the .sfs file you linked me to I take it), I downloaded it directly to /mnt/home. I'm not too sure of what kind of installation - I guess you mean my Puppy version - I have Puppy Wary 5.3 full.

If not, I didn't extract the .sfs file this time or whatever - just put it in /mnt/home. I personally see it there, but BootManager doesn't.

If you have a full install you must load the sfs file on the fly: "BootManager configure bootup" doesn't work for a full install. You need a sfs_load-1.2.pet installed and working in your wary installation. Read:

Download the original jre-7u10-linux-i586.tar.gz file. Click on it to open it with Xarchive. Select all and extract to /usr/local/java (make the directory java in /usr/local). Then open a terminal and write:
